In addition to creating what looks like a doughnut, the Donut command can also create a dot. I call it a ‘Bingo dot’ because it looks like the dot you can dab on a Bingo card.
From the expanded Draw panel, click Donut.
Enter 0 for the inside diameter, then specify the desired outside diameter.
Now specify the location(s) for the donut. It's one of the rare commands that is in 'multiple' mode by default, so you can place as many as you want without repeating the command.
Press ESC when you're finished.
Note: You can also launch the command by typing either DONUT or DOUGHNUT. Seriously

If you found this article useful, you might like to consider making a donation. All content on this site is provided free of charge and we hope to keep it that way. However, running a site like CADTutor does cost money and you can help to improve the service and to guarantee its future by donating a small amount. We guess that you probably wouldn't miss $5.00 but it would make all the difference to us.
Note from Michael: I want to thank all of my customers for continuing to retain my training services (some for over three decades!) and let you know your donations do not go to me personally, but to the ongoing maintenance of the CADTutor ship as a whole and to support the yeoman efforts of my friend and CADTutor captain, David Watson, to whom I am grateful for this monthly opportunity to share a few AutoCAD insights.
